@@MidwinterMinis I thought you handled that video really well personally. You clearly brought up points that newer players might not recognize about if they want to get their group into BA or other historical games and didn't seem to be passing judgment either way to me. The fact that people can look at a video like that and have the reaction they did is horrible to me. I completely agree that the behavior shown in the comments of that video has no business anywhere but I commend you for waiting until you were in a headspace to not lash back to address it. Love all your videos and can't wait until the deathmatch series starts up again whatever form it takes.

as a generic wargamer i'm going to quickly jump on the historical wargame shenanigans, i play as the germans in a wargame called "flames of war" now i quite honestly don't feel comfortable playing as them usually, but im in love with the unique german combat doctrine and the looks of the models, but i don't think it's justified to harrass a innocent... guy, its honestly disguisting what people are capable of and i feel really sorry for anyone who has fallen victim to all these... mindless individuals who think their actions don't have an effect on the people they harrass in real life! i really hope everything is going okay now since you're my idol! my whole warhammer carreer is thanks to you and i know this might sound weird, or look weird but im really thankful for opening my eyes to warhammer and everything else!

Hey Guy, jumping in on that last part, the "historicals controversy": as a historical wargamer, I think you addressed valid points. Goonhammer last year put out a far more scathing article on the topic (which was similarly received, I guess), and the reality remains: some people in the Historical community don't want to hear anything even slightly critical of some aspects of their hobby. I can give tons of examples about this, so many I feel confident in saying it's one of the community's blindspots (namely, reading a mild critique/analysis and automatically jumping to the conclusion you're calling them nazis). It worries me that you think you "messed up" just because you got 50% split on likes/dislikes. That's not a fair metric. Whenever you put your opinions on a controversial topic, you'll get dislikes. If it ruffles some feathers, you'll get many dislikes! That's the reality of life whenever saying something that isn't bland and uncontroversial. Finally, I'm appalled that you got death threats. I knew about the speculations on your personal life, and that's none of anybody's business. But death threats? People are deranged.
@Spicy880 2 күн бұрын
Your second paragraph hits the nail on the head. Sadly, the life of a KZfaqr means making videos that are not just viewed but that have an excellent ‘like’ ratio. And as a consequence, KZfaqrs are incentivised to avoid topics that generate actual conversation or put out videos containing nothing but the most milquetoast opinions. I’m not advocating for Guy to ignore this fact and stir debate with potentially polarising takes because I appreciate that this is his living. But it irks me that the bargain that one must make is ‘keep your head down or be buried by morons’. Such an ecosystem will naturally tend toward blandness. Regardless, MWM is such a good channel that I have faith that Guy has the talent to succeed in navigating this puzzle with engaging content nevertheless. Anyway, good job telling the ball bags to eat it at the end btw Guy. Much love xxx

The landraider story really made me smile. I'm happy it was able to create what looked like some really fond memories for you and everyone involved. The beauty of nerdy hobbies in plain sight. Additionally, something about the Deathmatch situation, it's really fair to say you got rugpulled by GW (as they all too often do with the content creators who's hard work and content they really benefit from.

When I first got into this hobby, l turned to KZfaq for inspiration. I quickly found the video of you and your two neices painting their first Warhammer minis, and I've been a fan of yours ever since! And as for that Bolt Action video, I thought you handled it very tactfully and respectfully, and I'm sorry you got so much hate for it. None of us deserve to be treated like that. I wish you all the best of luck, brother! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!

Can’t fathom why anyone was offended by the bolt action video, I’ve watched it a couple of times (I like tanks) and it never crossed my mind that some people might be offended. Bizarre times we live in eh? If they were aggravated enough to threaten you then they are the parts of historical communities that you didn’t even talk about or basement dwelling keyboard warriors. My parents used to do a lot of historical reenactment shows and let’s just say I didn’t meet anyone who enjoyed dressing up as a Nazi for the weekend as super “normal”, not all bad of course but there’s a oddness to it for sure. Good luck for the future 👍

The Start Collecting Deathmatch plans sound great to me! Those videos are some of my all time favorites on the channel, but it's not specifically because of the Start Collecting sets, it's because the small scale battles are easier to grasp and your battle reports are BY FAR the best on youtube

I just love the good vibes, the nerdy geekiness, the incredible creativity, the smooth editing and you guys' general tremendous positivity. Feels like a warm bath. That said, I am very sorry to hear you had to go through all that bad shit. Some people just don't seem to understand there are real life people on the other end of their mindless threats. A few really stinky rotten eggs. The vast majority of us are really nice! Sending you love.

Great video Guy. I have been a really long time subscriber and your Blackstone Fortress videos way back got me into my favourite standalone tabletop game. The Bolt Action video was a learning experience I suppose, but it was clear that a large portion of people used that to further prop up their assumptions of you and your character after a very personal situation. (My partner left last year, I stayed with the kids so I know how sensitive this situation is). Anyway, keep on doing what you do. It is clearly working as you are on your way to 40(0)K!

The way catalyst treats their customers is why i went ham on their most recent battletech kickstarter. It's night and day from how GW treats customers (victims). The rules for battletech are, while dense, extremely well written and intuitive so its eay easier to learn than the convoluted slop GW puts out.

I started watching your channel on my first account when I first watched you introduction to painting video, which helped me paint my first Warhammer minis, and while I admit that I didn’t overly agree with what you said in that Bolt Action video, I never gave it a second thought after the video and kept watching your content. If anything, you actually introduced me to Bolt Action with that video! I’m now sitting with a 1000 points American and 1000 points of Germans and I’m actually really glad to have started exploring outside the GWverse. While my Americans are based more on the boys in the movie Bridge over Ramegan, I went with the pretty blue uniforms of the German Luftwaffe field teams for the others. If you ever touch back into Bolt Action again, I’d love to see your take on that as well. Of course, I’ve been working on some Finns as well, which is a great way to kitbash German and Russian stuff together to make your own unique army. Anyway, thanks again for getting me into this hobby!

You cannot believe how excited i am that you cover Battletech. Its been in my life for like 35 years and seeing it getting a bit more traction is great. I also want to mention, that if the Classic Battletech rules are too dense (there is a LOT which can be optional), the Alpha Strike rules can help. Its more similar to Warhammer as it doesnt use a hex grid (but you can) and the unit stats are easier to understand and grasp. Maybe try out both and i really hope you paint up some Battlemechs on the channel, there are so different factions and liveries they use, its a deep hole to get into :)

Hey Guy! Love to see that you picked up the Xenomorph Dragon. I've had one for a while now and this will give me an excuse to finally get some paint on it if you put out a video. I must warn you though, it's a bit top heavy and gets knocked over easily. With your kiddos around you may want to add a bigger base or put some weight in the bottom to keep it level as it's got some sharp points on the claws. Love the stuff man!

Hey Guy, thank you for this video! Its great to know things are getting better and that you're still killing it!. Don't give up! With regards to "the video" I had some thoughts: First, I remember when it came out and I also felt you didn't take a side (which is what you should have done, so awesome on you!) Its a difficult line to walk when you're painting something controversial while still remaining neutral about the historical context surrounding the piece. Secondly, I'm happy you had a frank discussion about it with the haters and non-haters. They have no right to do any of the horrible things they did to you, the fans and your family. Don't let them phase you, you got this! Keep going, keep killin' it, and keep making the content you want to make that's best for you, the fans and your family!

I think the 500pt battle report idea is a solid one! Also, side note: as a PoC who has been in the hobby space since I was 4 years old (32 now), I can honestly say you said nothing wrong in the historical wargames video. There are a lot of players who _do_ deserve side-eye for their "enthusiasm," whilst there are also some really good reasons to play those games. The thing is, the same is true for 40K (though to a lesser extent, of course), with even particular armies garnering those vibes. There's a reason I've never met a Maltese Black Templar player, for example :P I'm glad to see you take such a strong stance against the vitriol. Keep up the good work, Guy.

Can't play a game without both sides. And yes will have to agree. The threats and rumor mill is pretty disgusting. I'm sorry you got put through that stress. Think your death matches could include some killteam games? Don't know how well they would do. But I'd definitely check them out. Be fun to see you and Pete the wargamer have a go. 😊
